Instapaper needs a new home where it can be staffed and grown.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Instapaper is much bigger today than I could have predicted in 2008, and it has simply grown far beyond what one person can do. To really shine, it needs a full-time staff of at least a few people.
I've worked with many large and small publishers, and nearly all of them love the value that Instapaper provides to their readers.
Instapaper wouldn't be of as much value if it weren't for these mobile and e-reader devices. They give you a separate physical context for reading.
This is my life. I don't need a piece of paper to make it a family unit.
We can build new housing while preserving the quality and character of adjacent residential districts and ensuring infill development strengthens the surrounding neighborhood.
Meanwhile, Cynthia and I are busy fixing up a real old house that we just bought in Hollywood. With two children now, we just couldn't live in our small rented home any longer.
Even six months later, they have not figured out how do we help the people from the area get housing.
I want my home to look good, feel good, and smell good. I want it to be inclusive, to reflect the people who live there.
With Instapaper, I can take a few months off. I can't stop publishing 'The Magazine' for two months and work on something else.
With Betaworks' drive and resources now behind it, I'm confident that Instapaper has a very bright future. I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do.
